1st-Year Fall #9
(24)
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
I don't (1: wanna / want to) talk
About the things we've (2: gone / got) through
(3: Although / Though) it's hurting me
Now
it's (4: a / an / the / φ) history
I've played all my (5: cards / cause)
And that's what you've (6: done / gone) too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to (7: play / pray)
The winner takes it all
The loser (8: stand it / standing) small
Beside (9: a / an / the / φ) victory
That's her destiny
I was in your (10: arm / arms)
Thinking I (11: belong / belonged / belonging) there
I figured it (12: make / made) sense
Building me a (13: face / fence)
Building me a (14: hole / home)
Thinking (15: I / I’d / I’ll / I’ve) be strong there
But I was (16: a / an / the / φ) fool
Playing by (17: a / an / the / φ) rules
The (18: god / gods) may throw a dice
Their (19: mind / minds) as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why (20: should / shouldn’t) I complain
But tell me does she kiss
Like (21: I used to kiss / I’m used to kissing) you?
(22: Does / Doesn’t) it feel the same
When she (23: called / calls) your name
Somewhere (24: deep /deeper) inside
You must know I (25: miss / missed) you
But what can I say
(26: The / φ) Rules must be obeyed
The (27: judge / judges) will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying (28: law / low / raw / row)
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't (29: wanna / want to) talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my (30 : hand / hands)
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
(31: Know / No) self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all The winner takes it all
